I reserve the right to change my perceptions as well as my weight

BENEVOLENT
ANARCHY
Benevolent anarchy sounds like an anomaly or an oxymoron until you
examine it more closely. An anarchist is one who is against a particular
governmental structure and authority, and who promotes disorder
and confusion in order to bring down that authority. (This is a
presupposition, not necessarily true, that government and authority
promote clarity and order.) Benevolence, on the other hand, is a
charitable, kindly act -- giving to or building up rather than tearing
down. Both anarchy and benevolence call for profound belief and
willingness to take action. Both are fueled by passion and purpose.
Yet
what would you say of the anarchist who promotes the destruction
of a system that does not serve those who are affected by it? And,
more, what if that anarchist uses peaceful and loving means, even
if those means temporarily result in chaos, in order to bring down
such a system or to change it beyond recognition? That surely describes
Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jesus..you know others. Paul
Wellstone, I think. Benevolent anarchy can also be an amazing internal
revolution which is, I suggest, the most anarchical act of all.
There are those who have totally forgiven what seemed to be unpardonable
wrongs. Every alcoholic and drug addict who's chosen sobriety is
an anarchist. Saying "no" to being controlled by fear, doubt, worry,
and the vagaries of life is an act of extreme anarchy. Benevolent
anarchy is your course whenever you ruthlessly change something
within your belief structures, your governing thoughts and your
subsequent behavior that does not serve you. How will you embrace
benevolent anarchy?
